Rendering And Navigating Photographic Panoramas With Depth Information In A Geographic Information System
US Patent:
2012029, Nov 29, 2012
Filed:
Nov 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/302479
Inventors:
Greg Coombe - San Francisco CA, US
Daniel Barcay - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06T 17/20
US Classification:
345423
Abstract:
The capability to render and navigate three-dimensional panoramic images in a virtual three-dimensional environment so as to create an immersive three-dimensional experience is provided. Such a capability can present a three-dimensional photographic experience of the real world that is seamlessly integrated with the virtual three-dimensional environment. Depth values associated with the panoramic images may be used to create three-dimensional geometry, which can be rendered as part of the virtual three-dimensional environment. Further, such a capability can enable a user to roam freely through the environment while providing a more natural free-form exploration of the environment than existing systems.
Panning Using Virtual Surfaces
US Patent:
8624926, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:
Apr 14, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/423334
Inventors:
Gokul Varadhan - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G09G 5/00, G06F 3/048
US Classification:
345653, 715848, 715850, 715858
Abstract:
The present invention relates to panning a virtual camera in a three dimensional environment. In an embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method pans a virtual camera in a three dimensional environment. In the method embodiment, a first point is determined on a three dimensional model in the three dimensional environment. According to the first point, the three dimensional model, and a position of a virtual camera in the three dimensional environment, a virtual surface is determined. A second point is determined on the virtual surface. Finally, a location of the three dimensional model is changed according to the first point and the second point.
Guided Navigation Through Geo-Located Panoramas
US Patent:
2012012, May 24, 2012
Filed:
Nov 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/302470
Inventors:
Daniel BARCAY - San Francisco CA, US

Gokul Varadhan - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06T 15/00
US Classification:
345419
Abstract:
A capability for guided navigation in an interactive virtual three-dimensional environment is provided. Such a capability may enhance user experience by providing the feeling of free-form navigation to a user. It may be necessary to constrain the user to certain areas of good visual quality, and subtly guide the user towards viewpoints with better rendering results without disrupting the metaphor of freeform navigation. Additionally, such a capability may enable users to “drive” down a street, follow curving roads, and turn around intersections within the interactive virtual three-dimensional environment. Further, this capability may be applicable to image-based rendering techniques in addition to any three-dimensional graphics system that incorporates navigation based on road networks and/or paths.
Swoop Navigation
US Patent:
2009025, Oct 15, 2009
Filed:

Appl. No.:
12/423434

Assignee:

International Classification:
G06F 3/048
US Classification:
715850
Abstract:
This invention relates to navigating in a three dimensional environment. In an embodiment, a target in the three dimensional environment is selected when a virtual camera is at a first location. A distance between the virtual camera and the target is determined. The distance is reduced, and a tilt is determined as a function of the reduced distance. A second location of the virtual camera is determined according to the tilt, the reduced distance, and the position of the target. Finally, the camera is oriented to face the target. In an example, the process repeats until the virtual camera is oriented parallel to the ground, and the distance is close to the target. In another example, the position of the target moves.
